Hello Stranger87, and welcome to Seven Forums.

All they did was take a screenshot of the window, then edited the image.

Thanks Brink.
But i want to know how they can edit text version, build, date...?
Or your mine they only edit this image, don't change those text in any .dll?
Thanks!

 

[Brink]

They only edited the image, and did not make any file changes. Total fake.

That is the correct expiration date, only the Beta was 01.07.09 and we are now in the RC branch.

ver and winver are two different things. People often access winver because they're interested in finding out the OS's expiry date, which ver doesnt provide.
